We were excited to partner with the Influence Exchange on a powerful debate forum centred on youth economic inclusion through entrepreneurship and employment.

Hearing the diverse perspectives shared during the debate reminded us that a thriving economy is built on balance — a hybrid system where both entrepreneurship and employment grow side by side.

As part of YEPI’s commitment to strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem, we encourage women entrepreneurs to apply for the Women and Girls Accelerator Program - WGAP Kenya
